The waivers to permit other cannabis stores to locate within the 1,000 buffer will divert customers and diminish sales, jeopardizing petitioners' ability to pay exorbitant rent and other financial obligations, the suit says.
The Public Convenience Waiver recently issued by the CCB to an applicant seeking to open a dispensary in a location less than 1000 feet from Astro Management's already proximity-protected location has put our company in an untenable position, endangering its viability as a business when we are only weeks away from launching.
